You could say that if he hadn’t let in 4 others, he didn’t make any saves, he sucked

I think it is safe to say now that Ersson has at least risen to the 1A for this team.

At this point I just want Tip to be a minor injury

Can't blame their determination and willingness. They have outplayed AVS at times. But punished by a top 3 league player in McKinnon, and 2 turkey's from Hart.

So in your mind one so-so game by Hart is all that is needed for Ersson to be the 1A?

So the Flyers use their time out. Zamula was out there prior. Torts can go to Drysdale, our potential number one defenseman but he goes right back to Zamula. Line change after time has been eaten off the clock, Drysdale is instantly more dangerous.

Not the best day for Hart. Also the avalanche talent is obviously superior to the Flyers. I love the fight the perseverance of this team though. Whatever happens this season it has been very refreshing to see Flyer hockey again.

They say he wont return. I was going to start advocating for Brink to be sent down, but he is probably getting in now.
- MBFlyerfan


Flyers said that he’s being evaluated. Doesn’t sound good.

God damn. Hart should hav head that one too.

I would keep EJ Radek away from Nathan Mackinnon, he is so far up this kids crotch its sickening! Empty net goals should not count as a hat-trick!

Oh yes. I’d be putting hart on waivers and calling up Sandstrom to back up immediately.

No, I would say many good games by Ersson coupled with a few so so games by Hart.

It was a nice play by MacKinnon.

This game reminds me of the Anaheim loss at home earlier this season, every time the Flyers get some momentum they give up a goal.
- jd250

One of 3 games Ersson sucked.

I was thinking the same thing, I'm happy Zamula is getting minutes but Drysdale should be getting more minutes.

I think it's warranted. He has sick skills

At the very least the gap between the two is very narrow.

Not the greatest of afternoons. Hart sh!ts the bed and now Tippett could be hurt. Looked like a knee injury to me. Possibly a hyperextension, but I ain't a doc.

That’s the big issue right now. Hope he’s ok and not out long term

One so so game? Do you watch this team?


Sam competes harder than Hart who relies on positioning. Also think Sam is quicker, moving, glove & blocker.

I don’t know Hart is bad, as much as the team seems to play better in front of Errson. The Flyers had a clear shots advantage but I felt like there was more urgency in front of Errson.

I am sure someone did earlier but a game W/O ND is a good start, but now we need to make sure Brink is in the line up the rest of the season. Sadly with Tippett going down Brink slots in again. Hope this game off lights a fire under him for the future.

Flyers have no quit in them. They had the Avs back on their heels until Laughton took that penalty.

Two turkeys from Hart is not accurate. He let in one bad goal, the long distance shot from MacKinnon.

Ersson has been the 1A if not the outright starter for weeks now in terms of level of play.
